The BYD Shark 6 DMO is ready to attack the local pickup truck market

The Philippine pickup truck scene is in for a shock—literally. BYD has just launched the Shark 6 DMO, its first-ever electrified pickup, and it’s not here to play nice. This beast combines rugged off-road capability with cutting-edge plug-in hybrid tech, offering serious power, efficiency, and innovation wrapped in a bold, futuristic design.

At a time when midsize pickups have stuck to tradition, the Shark is here to flip the script. Built on BYD’s Dual Mode Off-Road (DMO) platform, this hybrid truck is designed to tackle any terrain while delivering the smooth, fuel-efficient performance of an electrified powertrain. The big question is: Are legacy brands ready for this kind of disruption?

The Shark 6 DMO is built on a sturdy ladder-frame chassis, ensuring it can take a beating both on the road and off it. But unlike traditional diesel-powered trucks, the Shark brings a high-tech hybrid system to the table.

Under the hood, a 1.5L turbocharged gasoline engine works alongside dual electric motors—one on each axle—to deliver all-wheel drive performance. The result? A jaw-dropping 430 horsepower and 650 Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful pickups in its class.

And here’s the kicker: the Blade Battery provides an electric-only range of up to 100 km, perfect for city driving without a drop of fuel. When combined with the hybrid system, the Shark can go over 800 kilometers on a single tank. That’s a game-changer in fuel efficiency for the segment.

BYD didn’t just focus on power—it packed the Shark with tech to match. The massive rotating infotainment screen, powered by DiLink, supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto while receiving over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring your truck stays up to date.

It also comes with a premium sound system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and even a 220V external power outlet—because nothing says off-road adventure like being able to power up your gadgets and tools anywhere.

Visually, the BYD Shark 6 DMO looks every bit as aggressive as its name suggests. With sharp LED headlights, a bold front grille, muscular fender flares, and massive all-terrain tires, this truck commands attention. It’s built for the wild, offering generous ground clearance and a reinforced truck bed with multiple tie-down points. A powered tailgate adds convenience for work or play.

Inside, the Shark doesn’t just deliver toughness—it brings comfort too. The cabin features leather seating, ambient lighting, ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and even a wireless charging pad. There’s plenty of space for passengers, and the driver enjoys a commanding view of the road ahead.

If you think an electrified pickup can’t be tough, think again. The Shark 6 DMO has a 5-star ANCAP safety rating, proving it’s built to protect. It comes loaded with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and autonomous emergency braking. A 360-degree camera system makes tight maneuvers easier, whether you’re navigating city streets or rocky trails.
